In western Canada a certain sweet product company is on strike. The workers don't even want a raise they just want to get rid of a new shift the company wants to impose on the workers that is reminiscent of suicide shifts.

so-called “suicide shifts” where workers are only off the clock for eight hours before having to come back in.

The workers just want to have regular work shifts and the company won't even budge, they only see profit if workers are fucked.
